One result of not keeping up with my flist is that I miss all the internet slapfights.

I cannot convince myself that this is a bad thing.

I develop "righteous indignation burnout" after a year or three. But I'm a lot older than most of the participants.

I just don't have time to keep track. You start poking around to find out what happened, and the next thing you know, five hours have passed.

*blinks* Slapfight, you say?

I intend to follow your plan.

*g* There is that.

Actually, the slapfights have been fairly quiet recently.

This was a past slapfight that was mentioned elsewhere recently. I didn't recognize it, so I started hitting links. Backed out before I got too far. When you don't know any of the players personally, it's like turning on a program in the middle of end-of-season blowout, then trying to go back and find out what led to it. An hour passes, and you finally sit back and ask yourself 'why am i doing this?"

And I was gonna stay out of it, too! And then I didn't, and now I'm scraping drama off my shoes. Again.
